Rachel Lehrman is a practicing artist and writer. Most recently, she pioneered a 4,500 sq foot installation entitled Nomadics at Trinity Buoy Wharf in east London. The installation marked the launch of Nomadic-Collaborations, an international arts-collective which Rachel founded with fellow collaborators Emily Orley and Eileen Botsford. The collective aims to unite artists specialised in disparate fields in order to create larger, more complicated projects that engage multiple senses and invite audience/participants to create a journey. Some of their community projects include an installation at the Hayward Gallery as part of the Hayward’s Phantasmagoria program in October 2004.

Currently, Rachel teaches at Lansdowne college and lectures in performance at Roehampton University where she is entering her final year as a PhD student. Rachel’s research is practice-based and focuses on artistic collaboration in installation art. In 2002, she completed an MFA in creative writing poetry at the University of Arizona. In addition to teaching at the university, Rachel directed the ASUA Women’s Resource Centre and coordinated the city’s Take-Back-The-Night-- a march and concert to protest domestic violence. She also worked as the volunteer coordinator at Kore Press where she taught bookbinding.

Rachel’s poetry has appeared in several small magazines. She has performed her work publicly in both Arizona and Massachusetts. In 2004, her poetry was displayed on the opening night of Tenemos at the Camden People’s Theatre.
